Set in a quiet area of hill villas on the outskirts of Stockholm, Sweden, Villa DS is a design feast that blends historical charm with modern function. Led by Joanna Laven and David Wahlgren of Studio Lawahl, the newly renovated home retains the building's historical character while injecting the elegance and timeless beauty of custom design.

When you step inside, you will be greeted by a simple and luxurious foyer with custom-made stone floors and curved ceilings that reflect Studio Lawahl's craftsmanship. Brass and glass chandeliers, custom-made teak benches and recessed storage tables complement each other. Ceramic vases by Melanie Baker Hornstein and wooden trays by Per Brandstedt add a touch of craftsmanship to the space.

The Julep sofa by Jonas Wagell, the Platner armchair by Warren Platner and the black and white marble bookshelf by Angelo Mangiarotti are the highlights of the space, a perfect blend of custom design and classic furniture. On one side, the teak and marble display cases designed by Studio Lawahl and the marble fireplace by Grigio Carnico not only carry specific functions, but also very chic.

The teak and glass side cabinets, designed by Studio Lawahl, complement the oak dining chairs made in the 1960s. On the table is Michael Verheyden's Spina candlestick, whose surface has been specially treated to exude a timeless elegance, its organic form reflecting the owner's desire for quality and aesthetics. Astrid Textiles' selection of curtain fabrics gives the space a sense of refinement.

The classic enclosed wall panels in the study provide an elegant backdrop that complements the vintage chandelier designed by Oscar Torlasco for Lumi. The Pacha Lounge Chair (Pierre Paulin) and the Series 7 chairs by Arne Jacobsen are coordinated by custom carpets by Knut Mattor; Individual bookshelves display marble vases by Christophe Delcourt and handmade vases by Eva Szentivanyi, creating a comfortable modern atmosphere.

The kitchen serves as an important functional hub in the house, with dark brass custom cabinetry paired with classic paneling and cleverly concealing appliances and storage. It also features Cielo marble countertops and Vola faucets, while vintage chandeliers, Pigreco chairs by Tobia Scarpa and ceramic vessels by Eva Szentivanyi and Jonas Lindholm are designed to add an artistic touch to life.

The piano room has been converted from the original kitchen, and the Lina armchairs designed by Gianfranco Frattini and the coffee table by Piero Lissoni are the focal points of the space. The large area of Knut Mattor custom carpet gives a warm feeling; On the windowsills, Eva Zethraeus's ceramic sculptures and Louis Kalff's retro lamps for Philips are placed in an interesting place.
